A small sized Allen wrench works in a pinch for changing out rear blades. R, Bullseye Yes. Fortunately all my small Allen wrenches hadn't disappeared into the void. Took a couple minutes longer to swap he blades than I remembered when I did it on the single six a few years ago. My MKII GC has a squ...

Williams Fire Sights, almost

Or how to turn a 10-minute job into 90 minutes and not finish. I decided to replace the Hunter Hi-Viz sight with a standard front sight and a square notch rear blade. I ordered the blade and the Williams Fire Sights caught my eye. After about 55 minutes of trying to figure out where I put the small ...

Mine is a Glenfield Model 60, which may have been the KMart Marlin brand. Dead nuts shooter that seems to be languishing. Resurrecting this thread reminds me that I haven't shot it in quite a while.

I can do the range thing anytime. Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. R, Bullseye That's what I said when I packed the range bag on Saturday. But I decided to stop by Lowe's. Made it to the range today. Decided I needed a charcoal grill to go with the gas grill. My cookouts were ribs on Saturday a...

I'm sure that the officer was trying to stop him, and did so. That's the main thing, though of course it would have been better for all concerned if the crook had been DRT. It is not for us to criticize the officer from our computer chairs though. He was there and I'm sure that he did the best that...

Precision Shooting

Fox news was breathlessly reporting the capture of NY escapee No. 2 yesterday afternoon. When they heard that the guy had been shot twice in the back and survived, the anchorette and one of their experts decided that the trooper who was a firearms instructor knew just where in the back to shoot and ...

Sounds like a good buy. I keep eyeing the SP101 .22's Just haven't gotten over the buy hump yet.

Just as I was typing this, a bird slammed into the kitchen bay window and did a bit of wobbly flying. Didn't know our windows were that clean.

I've been dubious about Colt for some time. They have dropped most of the models that they were famous for, and have exclusive rights to build - in favor of two models (1911 and AR-15) that everybody and his dog is manufacturing - cheaper and in many cases, better. The Trooper MkIII, the Python and...

The Federal Register notice seems like nothing more than bureaucratic gibberish. I've spent 30 years reading environmental regulations and thought I could wade through about anything.

I think the total including part of the shipping was about $130. You better call customer service to be sure. It came back basically a new gun.
What was the resolution to your problem?
